Riverstone stretches out below, a tapestry of electric light. On the balcony, Clara stands barefoot, the black dress from the evening's event slipping from one shoulder. The wind combs through her blonde hair; she gazes outward, shedding the night's clamor. You step behind her, your arms encircling her waist.

'I'm so tired of people today,' she whispers, leaning into the solidity of your chest. 'Not of them...' Her head tilts, seeking your silence. 'Of what they endlessly want from me.'
